If Newcastle had beaten us twice, finished above us and qualified for Europe there'd be no shutting them up ...
... and they're the richest club in the world, signing phenomenally expensive players and CL standard apparently.
So they shouldn't have needed all these excuses.
Well they don't need to worry about other clubs buying their good players because they don't have any
Tom White on SSN about to talk about Sunderland in Europe after the break
To quote a line from our club anthem that we don’t really use my mate
‘Somethings are meant to be’
However bad it was when we went down to League One, and whatever was got wrong, someone at that time got at least one thing spectacularly right when Luke was signed.
He is the red corpuscles in our blood, and a bloody good player.
I found it quite pathetic and the whole making Shearer talk about Sunderland because its funny ****e needs to stop. It's a good way to gloss over the real meat of the subject of us finishing 7th and qualifying for Europe. Shearer sitting woth his head down like a child in a huff is pathetic aswell.I'd rather Rooney took the floor for 60 seconds to talk about us. I get it's alot to cram in for the 1 hour 40 slot, but they would rather dedicate time celebrating Spurs winning the "we finished 17th cup". BBC will always be the same and its killed them that apart from Arsenal winning the leauge, Sunderland are the story of the season.
Getting a pint in the Engine Room after the match and 3 Chelsea supporters shook my hand and congratulated Sunderland. Said we had been bloody good to watch and the atmosphere in the ground was superb.
Anyone know whats happening with Gurty? Will be gutted if we let him go.
he's too young to own a football club.
doing it on the cheap cos he has got no money.
no experience, he will 'play it' like he plays on the playstation.
aww, got his mummy bankrolling him.
...and so many other comments.
KLD has proved them all wrong, he has taken a club from the depths of the third division to europe, he has listened to and taken advice and even if things looked bad he stuck to his thoughts of being sustainable, not 'buying' success but building a squad with some shrewd buys and better sales which allowed the club to spend (and spend well) yet remain within the 'spending rules' and having plenty spare if needed.
of course he had help but how many young lads would simply go hell for leather to get results and struggle, this young lad is man enough to listen to those around him and i believe he personally spoke to granit and persuaded him to join sunderland...as well as the lads and RLB have done, KLD has been the catalyst.
i hope people remember this when they take that big bite of humble pie as they also cast thier minds back to when those two chancers were here.

Hopefully now we're in Europe, the club and player get something sorted and he stays

Remember the phone video of him driving up to sign for Sunderland, in his little hatchback, with Guns N Roses playing? Like a bairn in a tuck shop. Bless him. What a bloke.
I don't watch it, and almost never watch the BBC, and refuse to pay for it.
In the case of Shearer, it is obvious that he is one of those people who we used to call a "greaser", or a "crawler". He knows how to cultivate the right relationships, and that has clearly got him the job, as he demonstrably lacks any clarity of thought or any ability to articulate an original opinion. Some footballers can do this, though experienced ex managers are almost always far better at it.
As for his lack of humour and the rest, he is a startlingly average man, who was once a fantastic footballer. He is known to lack any humility, and once this facet of his character became widely known, his decision to turn down a big club like Utd and come and be the big hero at his hometown provincial club made sense
He has no imagination, semi stutters his way through predictable banalities and perfectly embodies the laziness and extravagance which abounds at the BBC. He is paid around £400k a year for a couple of dozen stints getting off a couple of meaningless lines on the telly.
I doubt he's sharp enough to see it, but his team has an ageing squad, a load of them into the last year or two years of their deals, a few on contracts that means they will be almost impossible to shift, do not have a training ground fit for the league they play in and are in a hideous bind re their stadium. Not to mention that the Saudi masters to whom they all gave such an appalling and grovelling welcome are now seeking external investors who will of course be seeking a return.
No wonder he looks as if he lives in a skip.

Hard lines mate. Hope your Dad gets through it okay and somehow gets to see the lads again.
